Burgundy wedding flowers can add depth to a romantic palette. I confirm the flower options for your date, then choose supporting colors that keep the finished design warm, balanced, and true to you.

## What flowers come in burgundy for a wedding?

Burgundy is one of the most rewarding colors to design with, because it spans everything from a nearly black dahlia to a soft, dusty wine. These are the wine-toned flowers I reach for again and again for weddings in Southwest Missouri.

| Burgundy flower | Why I love it for weddings |
|---|---|
| Dahlia | The star of a burgundy palette: full, velvety, and dramatic, from dinner-plate blooms to smaller ball dahlias. |
| Dark garden rose | Deep garnet and merlot roses with the fullness and fragrance a classic rose can’t match. Endlessly romantic. |
| Burgundy ranunculus | Layered, papery petals in rich wine tones, with the texture that keeps a dark palette from feeling flat. |
| Amaranthus | Trailing, tasseled burgundy that spills out of a bouquet or down an arch for that gathered, romantic movement. |
| Calla lily | A sculptural, near-black burgundy calla brings a modern, architectural edge to the palette. |
| Anemone | Deep wine or plum petals with a dark center: small but full of contrast and drama. |
| Scabiosa & astrantia | Delicate, dusky wine accents that add an airy, wildflower softness to all that richness. |

Burgundy is at its most beautiful when it isn’t asked to stand alone. I love layering two or three depths of wine, such as a near-black dahlia beside a dusty merlot ranunculus and a soft plum anemone, so the palette has dimension and glows instead of reading as one flat, dark block of color.

If a specific flower isn’t at its best for your date, that’s never a dead end. It’s the start of the design conversation. Part of my job is finding the in-season flower that gives you the same feeling.

## The colors I love to pair with burgundy wedding flowers

Your palette is where a burgundy wedding really starts to feel like yours. Burgundy is a rich base note, and the color you pair it with sets the whole mood. Here are the wedding flower color palettes I keep coming back to:

- **Burgundy & blush**: the timeless one. Deep wine grounded by the softest pinks reads romantic and balanced, never heavy. One of my favorite burgundy pairings.
- **Burgundy & mauve**: dusty, moody, and endlessly elegant, keeping everything in a warm, tonal family.
- **Burgundy & gold**: a little more glamorous, with candlelight and warm metallics making the wine tones glow.
- **Burgundy & cream**: crisp and classic, letting the burgundy stay the star against a soft, clean backdrop.
- **Burgundy & terracotta**: warm on warm, gorgeous for an autumn wedding and a natural bridge to your [fall wedding flowers](https://helovesmeflowers.com/blog/fall-wedding-flowers) palette.

When I build a palette, I’m thinking about the light at your venue, the color of your dress, and the feeling you want to walk into. A little softness woven through the wine is usually what makes a burgundy palette feel like romance.

## Designing a burgundy bridal bouquet that feels true to you

A burgundy bridal bouquet should feel lush and gathered: a little loose, a little wild, full of movement and depth. That garden-style approach is my signature, and a wine palette suits it beautifully, because the deep tones layer into something rich and dimensional rather than flat.

I design your bouquet around your date, venue, colors, priorities, love story, and the vision you share with me.

![Deep red and blush blooms in a bouquet beside candlelight](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/hlmf-img-9a8f827699e190ec52afc18d45b933b5/903d7998968b21e1caf0654e7c9468b2/Greenhouse_Inspiration_by_Jordan_Brittley-285.jpg)

## Burgundy wedding flowers for fall and winter

Burgundy belongs to the cooler half of the year, and it’s one of the reasons I love fall and winter so much. As the Ozarks light turns low and golden in autumn, and candlelight takes over in winter, deep wine tones glow.

- **Fall**: burgundy alongside terracotta, rust, and caramel for a warm, harvest-toned wedding full of dahlias and amaranthus.
- **Winter**: burgundy as a jewel tone beside plum and emerald, candlelit and velvety. If a cold-season wedding is your plan, my guide to winter wedding flowers goes deeper on that moody, textural look.

For your ceremony and reception, burgundy is made for atmosphere: a grounded floral arch trailing amaranthus, candlelit tablescapes woven with dark dahlias, and installations that carry the wine tones through the whole room. In the cooler months, a fireside room at Big Cedar Lodge or a garden-lit evening at Glass Haus is made for burgundy’s warm, low-lit glow.

## How I think about your burgundy flower budget

Wedding flowers are custom, so I never work from a price list. Every wedding is quoted individually based on the types of flowers and the design. But I can tell you how I think about it, because a floral budget is really a set of priorities.

We start with what matters most to you, and for some couples that’s the bouquet and the ceremony moment. Then we design outward from there. Moving ceremony flowers to the reception lets you keep enjoying them throughout the day. My promise is a calm, honest conversation about what’s possible, never pressure and never a hard sell.

> Every love story deserves flowers that feel like you.

## Frequently asked questions about burgundy wedding flowers

### What flowers come in burgundy for a wedding?

Dahlias, dark garden roses, burgundy ranunculus, amaranthus, calla lilies, anemones, and scabiosa all come in rich wine tones. Layering two or three depths of burgundy, from a near-black dahlia to a dusty merlot ranunculus, is what gives the palette dimension and keeps it from reading flat.

### What colors pair well with burgundy wedding flowers?

Burgundy loves a softer companion: blush, mauve, cream, and gold are my favorite pairings, while terracotta and rust make a gorgeous warm-on-warm autumn palette. A little softness woven through the wine is usually what makes a burgundy palette feel romantic.

### Is burgundy a good color for a fall or winter wedding?

Yes. Burgundy is at its best in the cooler months. In fall it pairs beautifully with terracotta and caramel for a harvest look, and in winter it becomes a jewel tone beside plum and emerald, glowing in candlelight. The low, golden light of the season makes deep wine tones come alive.

### Will a burgundy wedding palette look too dark?

Not when it’s designed with balance. I layer softer tones such as blush, mauve, and cream, plus airy textures, through the wine so the palette reads as rich and romantic. Burgundy paired thoughtfully feels warm and luxurious, never gloomy.

### Do burgundy wedding flowers cost more?

Not automatically. Burgundy describes the palette, not the price. Every wedding is quoted individually based on the types of flowers and the design.

Burgundy has a depth and warmth that feels made for a slow, candlelit celebration, and I love designing in those wine-dark tones. If you’re dreaming of flowers designed to feel entirely true to you, I would love to hear about your day.

Burgundy Wedding Flowers: A Florist’s Guide

Burgundy Wedding Flowers: A Florist’s Guide to the Wine-Toned Palette

Integrity Hills Chapel gives you a beautiful mix of stone, wood, lake views, and soft natural light. Your Integrity Hills Chapel wedding flowers can work with those details instead of trying to cover them. The best plan starts with the spaces you will use, the feeling you want, and the parts of the day that matter most to you.

I begin each wedding design with your date, venue, colors, priorities, and love story. For an Integrity Hills wedding, I also think about how the flowers will move from the Chapel to the Stables and how each design will look in your photos.

![Bridal bouquet and wedding shoes at an Integrity Hills wedding](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/hlmf-img-649b39331a1aec0431623ce2c3a23a61/4afafeae5e6a5499a7bdc29b01dedd71/integrity-hills-overview.png)

## What makes Integrity Hills Chapel special?

[Integrity Hills Chapel](https://golfbigcedar.com/weddings/venues/) sits above Table Rock Lake in Ridgedale, Missouri. Big Cedar Lodge describes the Chapel as a European-inspired space with a stone floor, iron chandeliers, picture windows, and seating for up to 200 guests.

Those strong details give the room its own look. Flowers do not need to compete with the stone or the view. A thoughtful design can soften the space, guide the eye toward the ceremony, and still let the Chapel feel like itself.

## Start with the feeling you want

Before choosing flower types, choose a few words for the day. You may want the space to feel romantic, garden-like, soft, bright, classic, or full of color. Those words help shape the bouquet, ceremony flowers, and reception tables as one true-to-you design.

Your exact flowers will depend on your wedding date and what is available. I also work with local growers when their flowers fit the design. I will never promise a flower that may not be available. Instead, I use your color, shape, and feeling as the guide.

## Plan flowers for the Chapel entrance

The large Chapel doors make the entrance feel important before the ceremony begins. Flowers near the doorway can welcome guests and connect the outside view to the design inside.

You may choose low ground flowers, pieces beside the doors, or a few placed designs that frame the entrance. The right choice depends on the look you want and how guests will move through the space. The flowers should support the entrance without making the path feel crowded.

## Keep the ceremony flowers in scale

The Chapel already has a clear focal point. Your ceremony flowers can help draw attention to you and your partner while keeping the lake view and stone details visible.

Low ground arrangements can give the ceremony a soft garden feel. Taller designs can add shape when you want more height. I love creating floral installations, and I design each one for the room, the ceremony plan, and the couple's vision.

![Integrity Hills Chapel and a garden-style wedding flower arrangement](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/hlmf-img-d6edec2ef5e720911e279cb1e64449f5/422327202800f73b0524e50039e96e37/integrity-hills-ceremony-flowers.png)

## Let your bouquet connect the whole design

Your bouquet appears in many of the day's most important photos. It can carry the main colors and textures from the Chapel into the rest of the celebration.

A loose, garden-style bouquet is one of my signature looks, but every bouquet should fit the person carrying it. We will talk about your dress, your comfort, the season, and the way you want the flowers to feel in your hands.

![Couple overlooking Table Rock Lake at an Integrity Hills wedding](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/hlmf-img-deaa0b1aea431deefe2c1a85c60dd241/2a43542fcf2f411e8c3885a667459587/integrity-hills-couple.jpg)

## Carry the flowers into the Stables

The Stables at Integrity Hills are a short walk from the Chapel. Big Cedar Lodge lists space for up to 240 guests, with vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, balconies, and a fireplace. The room can hold soft table flowers, larger statement pieces, or a mix of both.

When the design and timing allow it, I may suggest moving ceremony flowers to the reception. This lets you keep enjoying the flowers throughout the day. A ground arrangement may work near the head table or cake table. Other pieces may frame an entrance or another place that matters to you.

![Wedding reception flowers inside the Stables at Integrity Hills](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/hlmf-img-d9aa7aa77a198852e914dad2de990430/2f9d45306c8b58722635c65007679216/integrity-hills-reception-flowers.jpg)

## Think through the full wedding-day path

A good floral plan covers more than a list of arrangements. It also considers delivery, setup, the ceremony, the move to the reception, and the final look of each space.

I condition the flowers, keep them cool, and install them close to the event time. I also plan each piece around the venue and the day. That care helps the design feel calm and connected from the first guest arrival through the reception.

## When should you book your Integrity Hills florist?

Most couples contact me 12 to 18 months before their wedding. I take up to two weddings per weekend, and fall dates can fill early. If you are planning a fall wedding at Integrity Hills, reach out as soon as you know your date.

Every wedding receives a custom quote based on the flowers and design. During the planning process, I help you choose where to focus your floral budget so the finished design supports what matters most to you.

## Plan Integrity Hills Chapel wedding flowers that feel like you

Integrity Hills already gives you a strong setting. Your flowers can add warmth, color, and a personal thread that ties the Chapel, the lake views, and the Stables together.

If you are planning an Integrity Hills wedding, I would love to hear about your date, colors, priorities, and the feeling you want to create. [Schedule a complimentary video chat with me](https://helovesmeflowers.com/) to begin your true-to-you floral plan.

## What flowers are in season for a fall wedding?

Autumn is a season of texture and depth, and it gives a florist so much to work with. These are the flowers I reach for again and again for fall weddings in Southwest Missouri. They are at their best as the air turns crisp and the local growers’ fields shift into their richest colors.

| Fall flower | Why I love it for weddings |
|---|---|
| Dahlia | The star of autumn: full, sculptural, and available in everything from soft caramel to deep burgundy. |
| Chrysanthemum | Far more elegant than its reputation, with garden and spider varieties that bring lush, layered texture. |
| Amaranthus | Trailing, velvety, and dramatic, with the movement that makes a fall bouquet feel like it’s spilling from the garden. |
| Marigold | Warm, glowing gold and rust tones that capture the season’s light. |
| Garden rose | A fuller, more fragrant rose that deepens beautifully into wine, terracotta, and mauve for fall. |
| Ranunculus | Layered, papery petals that add softness against autumn’s richness, when available for your date. |
| Celosia | Coral-like texture in jewel and warm tones, wonderfully unexpected. |
| Seasonal foliage & berries | Copper beech, oak, and berried branches bring the true feeling of an Ozarks autumn. |

Dahlias are the flower couples often ask about for fall, and I understand why. Few flowers capture the season’s abundance quite like them. Because they [bloom in late summer and early autumn](https://extension.missouri.edu/news/mexicos-national-flower-brightens-missouri-gardens), I always talk through your exact date before we build a design around them.

If a specific flower isn’t in season for your day, that’s never a dead end. It’s the start of the design conversation. Part of my job is finding the in-season flower that gives you the same feeling.

## The fall wedding flower color palettes I keep coming back to

Your palette is where a fall wedding really starts to feel like yours. Autumn lets you go deep and moody or warm and sunlit. Here are the wedding flower color palettes I find myself designing most:

![Coral, red, yellow, and lavender fall wedding flower color palette designed by He Loves Me Flowers in Southwest Missouri](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/hlmf-img-f0a190348df72992472eaa93ad74c028/d4038b029ffce9ed09da0b318f249028/HLMF_Brand_June_21_20225_by_Jordan_Brittley-39.jpg)

- **Burgundy & rust**: the quintessential fall palette, deep and romantic. More on this in my guide to burgundy wedding flowers.
- **Terracotta & caramel**: warm, earthy, and sunlit, beautiful for an early-autumn date. See my full terracotta wedding flowers guide.
- **Plum & mauve**: jewel-toned romance with a soft, dusky edge for a couple who wants richness without the darkest drama.
- **Copper, gold & cream**: warm neutrals lifted with metallic autumn light, elegant and glowing.
- **Deep jewel tones**: emerald, wine, and amethyst together for a truly opulent, candlelit autumn wedding.

When I build a palette, I’m thinking about the light at your venue, the color of your dress, and the feeling you want to walk into. Every palette here ties back to my season-by-season wedding flower color palette guide, where I keep the full collection.

## Designing a fall bridal bouquet that feels true to you

A fall bridal bouquet should feel abundant and a little untamed, with deep color, real texture, and a sense of movement, as though it was gathered at the height of the harvest. That garden-style approach is my signature, and autumn is the season it turns richest, because the flowers themselves already carry that lush, gathered quality.

I design your bouquet around your date, venue, colors, priorities, love story, and the vision you share with me.

## Textural, organic fall design for your ceremony and reception

Personal flowers are only the beginning. Autumn gives us so much to work with for the spaces where you will gather, and this is where the season’s texture really comes alive.

- **Ceremony**: a grounded floral arch heavy with dahlias and foliage, an aisle softened with candlelight and warm-toned arrangements, an installation that frames your vows against the fall color outside.

![Colorful wedding ceremony floral arch by He Loves Me Flowers at Big Cedar Lodge](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/hlmf-img-5e9942fd5e324032a1efd3f2a8540dab/5b091e952573fa95d922851748ac50ef/HLMF_Brand_June_21_20225_by_Jordan_Brittley-41.jpg)

- **Reception**: centerpieces layered with garden roses, amaranthus, and seasonal branches, from low, romantic runners to tall, dramatic arrangements that catch the candlelight.

![Colorful fall wedding reception tablescape by He Loves Me Flowers at Big Cedar Lodge in Southwest Missouri](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/hlmf-img-8e8d704b570e1bc6f4bc97c1a89cf30c/9637dee0af123ad498a97cf5042d3275/HLMF_Brand_June_21_20225_by_Jordan_Brittley-55.jpg)

I love designing ceremony florals and installations, and autumn’s organic, textural style suits the Ozarks so naturally. A grounded arch or a sunken aisle meadow feels right at home among the changing leaves. When the design allows, I love planning pieces that can move to the reception: an arch that becomes a sweetheart-table backdrop, aisle arrangements that reappear on the reception tables.

## Fall weddings in Southwest Missouri: what blooms here

Autumn in the Ozarks has its own rhythm, and designing here means knowing it. Southwest Missouri sits in roughly [USDA plant hardiness zone 6b–7a](https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/), which means our fall can swing. An early-September afternoon can still feel like summer, while a November evening asks for candlelight and warmth. An early-fall date and a late-fall date are genuinely different flower seasons, even a few weeks apart.

That’s why I always start with your exact date and venue. A golden September ceremony at Glass Haus asks for something different than a candlelit November reception at Big Cedar Lodge or an event in Branson. Autumn light in the Ozarks is a gift: low, warm, and forgiving. Knowing what’s peaking locally, and building in a little flexibility for that first frost, helps me plan flowers that suit your date. (When your date edges toward the holidays, my winter wedding flowers guide picks up where autumn leaves off.)

## How I think about your fall flower budget

Wedding flowers are custom, so I never work from a price list. Every wedding is quoted individually based on the types of flowers and the design. But I can tell you how I think about it, because a floral budget is really a set of priorities.

We start with what matters most to you, and for some couples that’s the bouquet and the ceremony moment. Then we design outward from there. Moving ceremony flowers to the reception lets you keep enjoying them throughout the day. My promise is a calm, honest conversation about what’s possible, never pressure and never a hard sell.

## Frequently asked questions about fall wedding flowers

### What flowers are in season for a fall wedding?

Chrysanthemums, amaranthus, marigold, celosia, and garden roses can all shape a fall design, and dahlias bloom in late summer and early autumn. Seasonal foliage and berried branches are also beautiful for autumn ceremony installations.

### What are the best colors for fall wedding flowers?

Rich, warm palettes suit autumn beautifully: burgundy and rust, terracotta and caramel, plum and mauve, or deep jewel tones like emerald and wine. The best palette is the one that reflects you and works with your venue’s light.

### What are the most popular fall wedding flowers?

Dahlias are the fall flower couples ask me about most, for their full, sculptural shape and rich autumn colors. Garden roses, amaranthus, and chrysanthemums are close behind. Because dahlias are seasonal, I always confirm your date before building a design around them.

### How far in advance should I book a florist for a fall wedding?

Most couples reach out 6 to 12 months before their wedding, and fall dates book quickly, so reach out even earlier for an autumn wedding. Contact me after you confirm your date and venue, and I will let you know whether the date is available and when we should start planning your floral design.

### Are fall wedding flowers more affordable?

Not automatically. Every wedding is quoted individually based on the types of flowers and the design. I’m happy to help you choose where to focus your floral budget so it goes toward the pieces that matter most to you.

If you’re dreaming of an autumn wedding wrapped in golden light and rich, gathered color, with flowers designed to feel entirely true to you, I would love to hear about your day. You can see more of my work and [start a conversation with me here](https://helovesmeflowers.com/contact).

10 Reasons Couples Choose He Loves Me Flowers for their Springfield-Branson Wedding

Written by Madison Leonard, Founder of [Everlasting Bloom Co](https://www.everlastingbloomco.com/).

![Finished Preservation Piece (Featured Image)](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/4XicJ6VMeefzKBjZeenTOu/c830e321af7fdabf455b17892b1ec700/Finished_Preservation_Piece__Featured_Image_.jpg)

Your wedding day is filled with moments you want to hold onto forever — your first look, your
vows, the celebration with the people you love most. But there’s one part of the day that often
gets overlooked in the planning: what happens to your bouquet after the reception ends.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to preserve your wedding flowers so they last a
lifetime, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions brides ask after their wedding
day. And while there are a few different methods out there — pressing, drying, shadow boxes —
resin preservation is quickly becoming the most popular choice for brides who want a keepsake
that truly captures the full beauty of their blooms.

I’m Madison, the founder of [Everlasting Bloom Co.](https://www.everlastingbloomco.com/), and today I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at exactly how we turn your wedding bouquet into a forever keepsake using resin.From the moment your flowers leave the venue to the moment your finished piece arrives at your door, here’s what the journey looks like.

## Step 1: Getting Your Flowers to Us (Timing Is Everything)

The single most important factor in a beautiful preservation? Getting your flowers to us quickly
and in the best condition possible. Fresh flowers begin to deteriorate within days of being cut,
and the sooner they arrive at our studio, the more vibrant and true-to-color your preserved piece will be.

That’s exactly why we created the [Bloom Box™](https://www.everlastingbloomco.com/products/bloom-box) — our all-inclusive shipping kit designed specifically for wedding flowers. It comes with everything you need to safely package your bouquet, plus a discounted overnight FedEx shipping label. We’ve partnered with FedEx to
secure overnight rates across all 50 states, because when it comes to flower preservation, every
hour matters.

We recommend having someone from your wedding party — your maid of honor, a parent, your
wedding planner, or even your florist — designated to store the bouquet in a dry, cool place and
ship it to us the morning after the wedding. If your Bloom Box is prepped and ready to go, the
whole process takes just a few minutes.

![Bloom Box - Image 2](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/6jOHx346B01q8QbUlCUgIx/96d995ff5d17c647b95995ac5f3efbbf/Bloom_Box_-_Image_2.jpg)

## Step 2: Drying and Preparing Your Flowers

Once your bouquet arrives at our studio in St. Louis, our team gets to work right away. The first step in resin flower preservation is carefully drying each bloom. This is a delicate process — we can’t just press them between books or hang them upside down. We use specialized drying techniques that maintain each flower’s natural shape, depth, and dimension so they look as close to the day you carried them as possible.

During this phase, our designers evaluate every flower in your bouquet. They’ll note the colors,
the petal structure, and the overall composition to begin planning your final design. If you had
greenery, ribbon, or other meaningful elements in your arrangement, we work to incorporate
those as well.

The drying process is one of the longest steps and can’t be rushed — it’s what sets the foundation for a flawless final piece.

## Step 3: Designing and Casting in Resin

This is where the magic happens. Once your flowers are perfectly dried and prepped, our team
of designers carefully arranges them into your chosen keepsake mold. We offer a variety of
shapes and sizes — from elegant circles and hexagons to large statement arches and functional
pieces like bookends and coasters.

The resin we use isn’t something you’d find at a craft store. Our parent company has been in the
paint and coatings industry since 1958, and we’ve developed a proprietary formula we call
PetalSafe™ Technology. It’s specifically engineered for the delicacies of preserving real flowers — it cures at low temperatures to protect petal integrity, releases air for minimal to zero bubbles,dries to a crystal-clear glass-like finish, and is ultra UV-resistant to minimize yellowing over time. It’s the result of decades of expertise, and it’s what sets our keepsakes apart. You can learn more about [how our process works here](https://www.everlastingbloomco.com/pages/how-it-works-2).

The casting process happens in our purpose-built PetalSafe™ lab, equipped with professional-
grade lab equipment that ensures quality control at every stage. Each piece is poured,
monitored, and cured with care by our dedicated team of designers who are passionate about
what they do.

![Casting Process - Image 3](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/6A1ZBw7N8NnMDI2ha9N3e0/a9a21c7c2db234892077d38d16e09327/Casting_Process_-_Image_3.webp)

## Step 4: Finishing, Quality Check, and Delivery

After the resin has fully cured, each keepsake goes through a detailed finishing process. Our
team sands, polishes, and inspects every piece by hand to ensure that crystal-clear, glass-like
finish. We’re looking at clarity, surface smoothness, flower placement, and overall presentation.If a piece doesn’t meet our standards, we start over.

Throughout the entire process — from the day your flowers arrive to the day your keepsake ships
— we send you regular updates so you’re never left wondering where things stand. We know how
meaningful these flowers are to you, and we want you to feel connected to the journey every step
of the way.

When your piece is complete, we carefully package it and ship it straight to your door, ready to
display in your home.

## What to Expect: Timeline and Planning Tips

From start to finish, the preservation process takes approximately 10 weeks. We know that
sounds like a long time when you’re eager to see the result, but each step requires patience and
precision to ensure your keepsake is something you’ll treasure for generations.

### Here are a few tips to help you plan ahead:

Talk to your florist before the wedding. Your florist (like Charity!) can help you think about which flowers and colors will preserve beautifully. [(Check out this article by Charity about exactly that!)](https://www.everlastingbloomco.com/blogs/the-bloom-journal/choosing-your-perfect-bouquet-flowers-that-preserve-beautifully) Some blooms hold their color and structure better than others during the drying and casting process, so having that conversation early gives you the best of both worlds — a stunning wedding day bouquet and a stunning keepsake.

Designate a flower handler. Choose someone in your wedding party to be responsible for storing and shipping the bouquet. Give them the [Bloom Box](https://www.everlastingbloomco.com/products/bloom-box) ahead of time so they know exactly what to do.

Keep flowers cool and hydrated. Between the ceremony and shipping, store your bouquet in
water in a cool spot. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or in direct sunlight.

Don’t wait. Ship your flowers the morning after your wedding whenever possible. The fresher
the flowers, the better the preservation. 

## Your Flowers Deserve to Last as Long as Your Love

Your wedding bouquet is more than just flowers — it’s the first thing you held as a married
couple, and it was with you during some of the most beautiful moments of your life. Preserving
it in resin means you get to keep that piece of your story forever, displayed in your home as a
daily reminder of the day it all began.

If you’re curious about what your bouquet could look like preserved, browse our [resin keepsake
collection](https://www.everlastingbloomco.com/collections/resin-preservation) to see real pieces made from real wedding flowers. And if you have questions, we’d
love to hear from you — your florist can connect you with us, or you can [reach out to us directly.](https://www.everlastingbloomco.com/pages/contact-us)

Here’s to flowers that last forever.

Amanda & Daniel’s Summer Garden Party Wedding at Top of the Rock, Big Cedar Lodge Branson MO 

Hi there! I’m Charity, the enthusiastic redhead behind He Loves Me Flowers, a wedding floral design company in Springfield, Missouri. I get the question a lot...*How did you get into floral design?*

![1](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/CJAOGINeR7DAzmhXf1Yey/4a33e92b9557bb24722fe381c49da078/1.png)

When I was 18, after I graduated from high school in Minnesota, I got a call from a lady named Kelly. She worked at the Christian school I attended, so I knew her from there. Everyone loved her. She was so kind, friendly, funny, and an absolute joy of a person. 

On the phone, she told me she recently took a management role at a local flower shop and was looking for team members. She thought of me, and asked if I would be interested in working at the flower shop. I told her that sounds so fun, but I know nothing about flowers. She told me not to worry about that because she would teach and train me. So I joyfully agreed to join the team. 

I worked there for around 2 1/2 to 3 years. We did everything—from holidays, funerals, birthdays, balloons, plants, and weddings. I learned from that experience that I LOVED the weddings. We did a lot of them, and I helped Kelly design bridesmaids bouquets, personal flowers like corsages and boutonnieres, as well as centerpieces. We delivered the florals, set up, and brought the bride her bouquet. The immense joy was addicting. 

![2](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/5m41aSr4kYX0QjoTZxd6gQ/8cb9dc2226ff53c5316cbe6a28897fd1/2.png)
![3](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/63UHqaL0tpibxbnypFYCnU/2edcbe6de5309e095f2253a17a6a449e/3.png)

At 19 years old, that was when it all clicked for me! I thought to myself...*If I could start a business one day, and just focus on weddings, then that would be my dream job. I could start it later in life, after I’m married and my kids start school.* My thought was it would give me something to do while they were away learning. 

I grew up in a very entrepreneurial home. My parents owned their own business and at a young age I was hired to work in the family business. At the age of 12, I was selling and getting really good at it. Learning people skills, communication, and customer service were all skills that I learned working in their business. Looking back, I'm so grateful my parents encouraged me and taught me how to do this!

I saw my parents' lifestyle and how they had freedom over their days and weeks. They worked very hard (they’re some of the hardest working people I know!) but they weren’t locked into a boss’s schedule or expectations, and I loved that. At the time, I thought that was normal for everyone’s parents, but as I got older, I soon realized that most parents worked 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. That wasn’t the case for mine. They operated their business out of the home, so they were home and present in my life, and I'm so grateful for that. To this day, they are some of my closest friends. 

So I knew eventually that I could start my own business, because my parents did (as well as both of my brothers!). If they could do it, I could do it too!

![4](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/goriH6wAxlTTmjZm6aXDJ/7332cce78fdb9f951293070acef74bf0/4.png)
![5](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/3aA1GBNsakE2aO5nG6Vktd/80453e326d76d5828fef50e243521a3b/5.png)

Fast forward to when I was 21. I moved to Missouri to go to a new college, and met this cute guy named Ben. We started hanging out, which led to dating, falling in love, then engagement, and then when I was 22, we got married. It was the summer of 2011, and I was thinking about what my next life step was…*Should I go back to college, get a full-time job, etc. I didn’t know!*

Then, my wonderful, newlywed husband Ben looked in my eyes and asked me, “Charity, what do you really want to do?” 

The lights in my brain came on. My IDEA came flooding into my mind! I said with excitement, “Well, what I really want to do is start a business and focus on flowers for weddings!” 

He replied, “Let’s do it! I’ll design your logo and build your website!” These are all of his professional skills, by the way! I married the right guy, didn't I?! You bet I did!  Not only was his background in graphic design and website design, but he was (and still is) the most supportive, encouraging person I could ever dream to have by my side in this flower journey! He makes me and He Loves Me Flowers SO much better! 

So, the rest of 2011 we worked on setting up the business and making it official. Then in March of 2012, we officially launched *He Loves Me Flowers by Charity, LLC* with our first wedding. That first year in business we were blessed to be a part of 7 weddings.

![6](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/5wciFsHxlBJNiI9B0od6H3/4adc71cee66c0112b17e3172465d322c/6.png)

Over the years, the business grew, as did our family. In 2017, our first son was born, and in 2019, our second son was born. During those years as they were babies and toddlers, I was able to spend a ton of time with my children and still work my business, mainly due to the fact that He Loves Me Flowers is a home-based business. You can read more about this in my [interview with 417 Home Magazine](https://www.417mag.com/417-home/inside-a-home-floral-studio/). The autonomy was what I always dreamed of having. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted to own the business, not the business own me. And believe me, there is a big difference.

In 2025, it hit me….the dream that I had when I was a young adult of starting a wedding floral business had come true. The only change was that I started way earlier than I expected.  Now both of my children are in school and I’m able to devote more time to my business. We had a record-breaking year in 2025, grew the team, and were a part of weddings I had years ago only wished for, and now I'm bringing those extraordinary weddings to life.

In 2026, I’m intentionally growing the flower business, and it feels like after 14 years, He Loves Me Flowers is just getting started…or maybe we’re just starting a whole new chapter, and it’s a joyful, flower-filled one! I'm so glad you're here, thanks for being on the journey with me!

Charity, He Loves Me Flowers

The story behind He Loves Me Flowers by Charity | 417 wedding florist

Maddie & Andrew’s enchanting wedding at [Integrity Hills](https://bigcedar.com/venues/integrity-hills-chapel/) at [Big Cedar Lodge](https://bigcedar.com/) in Branson, MO overflowed with joy, love, and elegance.

![1](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/1dHrmUE1oQoNJNzW5tj8JD/ba038a624f7297de04215dbe4e254870/1.png)

What is your biggest priority for your wedding or what is most important to you?  Besides marrying the love of your life, of course ;) *Honestly just total fulfillment across the board. Obviously Andrew & I will be on cloud 9, but I really want our guests to feel how much we love & appreciate them & I want them to be able to feel our love for each other, all of them, and our special day through our planning/decor, etc. to really make it our own!*

What are your wedding colors? *Jewel tones + some lighter accents*

What is your overall wedding style, feel, look, and/or atmosphere that you want to create for your celebration? *Timeless, elegant, enchanting! I want it to be full of florals & bring great energy!*

What are you looking for in a wedding florist? *I am looking for someone who can match what I’m hoping for but make it even better! I’m not a florist & will always love any feedback/suggestions I can get! I ultimately just want someone who can bring my vision to life in a unique way & ways I wouldn’t think of myself!*

What aspect of your wedding planning process are you finding most challenging or what would you like to address in a positive and helpful way? *Being from KC, it’s been difficult to figure out vendors who match us well! We know of several recommendations in the Kansas City area, so we really appreciate feedback/recommendations from more local vendors near the table rock area!*

After the wedding, Maddie said, *“Charity is an absolute DREAM to work with. She was our florist for our wedding in Southwest Missouri fall of 2025, and I cannot say enough good things about her! From beginning to end, she was so thoughtful, responsive, organized, creative, and made all my dreams come true!”*

Enjoy this recap of Maddie & Andrew's wedding, captured beautifully by [Jefferson May Photography](https://www.jeffersonmayphotography.com/), from Kansas City.

The ladies got ready at the Bridal Suite at [Integrity Hills](https://bigcedar.com/venues/integrity-hills-chapel/), at [Big Cedar Lodge](https://bigcedar.com/) in Branson, MO

First look moments are always so special, and getting a little bit more time together during the day is also a win.

Maddie loves the colors magenta, fuchsia and hot pink. So those were the primary flower colors. She also loved purple and light blue as accents. I suggested we add a warm coral pink tone and she asked if we could include burnt orange, since it was a fall wedding. Of course, I said yes! With all of these details, I curated a floral mix that truly represented her unique personality, style, season, and love story. 

The flowers I used specifically for Maddie were garden roses, dahlias (locally sourced), delphinium, larkspur, ranunculus, stocks, and mums, along with other fillers and textures. It was such a fun mix and totally her!

The ceremony was at [Integrity Hill’s Chapel](https://bigcedar.com/venues/integrity-hills-chapel/), overlooking the tranquil Table Rock lake and natural wooded landscape. 

![14](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/7eGWyMji34d4V9xqXLKLif/e6a6f8270a005b96c138984ec43d5e86/14.png)

For the front of the chapel, we designed two floral ground arrangements to intentionally highlight the couple. 

![14A](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/15SiwzAurkbLqkonMr5EtM/29ff86826eb4fcd0f8569c42e09da4a6/14A.jpg)

We created floral bundles for the aisles, paired with light blue satin ribbon to highlight this meaningful aisle moment.

![15](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/5WMI41IYruY9FQpXBz8c4/787105cab9265f83dc8e0e9685d78b18/15.png)

The HLMF team and I adorned all of the window sills in the chapel with fresh greenery and flowers, to add color and warmth to the wooden spaces. This was Carla, the mother of the bride’s idea as she wanted the space to feel inviting and also smell fragrant with fresh flowers. 

In our design meeting, I remember Carla sharing with me that she attended a wedding years ago and still remembers the pleasant aroma of the fresh flowers. She remembered how impactful it was and she wanted to give Maddie and Andrew’s guests that same wonderful experience that you can only get with fresh flowers!

Romantic sunset photos...say no more! These feel straight out of a classic love story movie.

Guests enjoyed cocktails and drinks outside on the patio, overlooking Table Rock Lake.

The seating chart sign, paired with a floral ground arrangement, was a warm welcome to guests upon their arrival to [The Stables](https://bigcedar.com/venues/integrity-hills-the-stables/), where the reception, dinner, and celebration would take place. 

![25](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/557vlZe1Ir5KxGg6ed9IaP/d8eea0a7834f18c67bd9a64f138866c0/25.png)

The [Integrity Hills Stables](https://bigcedar.com/venues/integrity-hills-the-stables/) is a cozy, warm-wood, rustic aesthetic. This classic barn was designed to reflect the look of English riding stables, and it features an open main level with a fireplace and two upper balconies. 

During our design meeting, I remember Maddie sharing with me that she wanted everyone at the reception to feel loved and valued. For her, that meant every table, on the main level and upstairs, had a fresh floral centerpiece of some kind. She shared with me she has been to weddings in the past where the upstairs tables feel forgotten, and she was intentional about making sure every table felt welcoming and special. If you haven’t realized already, she is the sweetest person and loves her people!

With her vision in mind, we designed three different floral centerpieces for the tables. The first design we made was a fresh floral wreath with a brass candelabra in the center, rented from [Eventful Rentals](https://eventfulrents.com/) in Springfield, MO. 

![26A](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/4a0hDK3lZLVyy1TiBZlspg/afcd21f52074c598a09cb205123ebd7f/26A.jpg)

The second centerpiece we designed was a lush and low floral arrangement in a gold compote vessel. These centerpieces were accented by brass taper candles, also sourced from [Eventful Rental.](https://eventfulrents.com/)

I'm obsessed with this drone shot.

The last, and most impactful, centerpiece design was the tall centerpiece. There were some mixed in on round tables, as well as on the focal head table, located in the center of the room. 

![29](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/5MmaVRPrCmy9L4gv3BE2Jt/87d290a567471127f0d3e080c8b74b17/29.png)

On the head table, we placed greenery down the center to provide warmth and freshness, making the entire tablescape design cohesive and full.

One of my favorite floral pieces to create was the floral installation for the mantle. This fireplace mantle at Integrity Hills is 13-feet long and over 7-feet tall…it’s a beast! Since it is grand, any type of floral design, in my opinion, needs to be large to appropriately complement the stone and wood structure. 

So with that in mind, my team and I created a lush, colorful floral installation with flowers centered and greenery trailing off on both sides. It completed the entire space and served as a stunning backdrop for the reception, dances, cake cutting, and more.

Bringing Maddie’s wedding floral vision to life was a dream come true for me and my team! I’m so thankful we got to be a part in their unforgettable day at __Integrity Hills, Big Cedar Lodge__!

M&A Wedding Weekend JMP591

Maddie & Andrew’s Fall Wedding at Integrity Hills, Big Cedar Lodge Branson MO 

Caroline & Blake’s summer wedding at [Big Cedar Lodge’s](https://bigcedar.com/) iconic [Top of the Rock](https://bigcedar.com/top-of-the-rock/) in Southwest Missouri was bursting with color, personality, and all things fun!

![1](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/3GY5toNfemGNu6qhDXF85f/8d40f12ebec94c4cbe1f147868eafb03/1.png)

__What is your biggest priority for your wedding or what is most important to you?  Besides marrying the love of your life, of course ;)__ *My biggest priority for my wedding is to create a really fun party that everyone will enjoy and remember. I envision an event that's elegant and timeless but still vibrant and full of life, with bright, beautiful colors like lime green, fuchsia, hot pink, magenta, and pops of purple and blue. I want the atmosphere to feel fresh and sophisticated, steering away from rustic, to truly reflect the joyful, celebratory vibe I'm going for.*

__What is your overall wedding style, feel, look, and/or atmosphere that you want to create for your celebration?__ *timeless, elegant, but with some fun colors*

__What are your wedding colors?__ *green, magenta, fuchsia, pink, blue, yellow - what I am thinking for flowers... Black bridesmaid dresses*

__What are you looking for in a wedding florist?__ *I'm looking for a florist who can bring my vision of a vibrant, elegant, and timeless wedding to life. Someone who can balance elegance with bold, bright colors like lime green, magenta, hot pink, blue, purple, and greenery while avoiding an overly orange-heavy look.*

Enjoy some highlights from their summer wedding timelessly captured by the ever-so-talented [Sheri Holloway](https://www.sherihollowayphotography.com/) from Branson, MO.

The ladies got ready at the Bridal Suite, [Cedar Creek Spa](https://bigcedar.com/venues/spa-suite/), at Big Cedar Lodge. Makeup was done by [Airbrush by Andie](http://www.airbrushbyandie.com/), and hair styling by [Diamonds and Do's](https://www.instagram.com/diamondsanddos/?hl=en).

Caroline’s favorite flowers are dahlias and orchids. I sourced pristine local dahlias along with tropical orchids into her bouquet, as well as garden roses, delphinium, garden roses and ranunculus. 

![3](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/38ldjRSoA6uIPtUQSe52tY/d1e9349e5495acb2271cba5979cd092e/3.png)

The Bride made custom monogrammed satin ribbons for all of her bridesmaids bouquets. We attached them to the vases so everyone had their specially named bouquets, as well as the flower girl's basket.

The vibrant, colorful bouquets brought so much happiness to the day and the photots.

The couple chose the historic [Chapel of the Ozarks](https://bigcedar.com/venues/chapel-of-the-ozarks/), featuring antique pine wood doors, and a dramatic, large-scale window backdrop overlooking Table Rock Lake in Ridgedale, Missouri.

![13](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/7K5eDvGjPKnWDjMV2yJxll/4726f54be6c1016e4946f18de5513d9d/13.png)

We designed two floral ground arrangments for the ceremony. These colorful and cheerful florals grounded the ceremony space and the cross, while keeping the view and the couple the main focus. 

And how stunning is this chapel?!

Caroline has a passion for embroidery and made custom cocktail napkins for every single one of her guests! How memorable and thoughtful - they look amazing!

Their custom signage made by [Caitlyn with Reverie Decor](https://www.instagram.com/shopreveriedecor/?hl=en) complimented the light blue detailing that they used in their invitations and place settings. The floral ground arrangements made a lovely accent to the signage and communicated to every guest that this is where the celebration begins. 

And how adorable is this phone message experience?

Their reception was at [Arnie’s Barn](https://bigcedar.com/dining/arnies-barn/), which is a restaurant open to the public, overlooking the golf course. So on their wedding day, the restaurant was still open for public lunch! That meant we (the entire wedding vendor team) had less than 2 hours to transform this space from a restaurant to an elegant reception space. Every vendor arrived at the same time, since access to the venue was at 3pm. (The ceremony started at 5pm!) It was a race to unload; or so it felt. Everything from the rentals, signage, florals, band, cake, and more, we’re all hustling in the hot August weather, doing our best and working together to make this a streamlined process. 

After 30 minutes, we all found our groove, and everything was intentionally placed and designed. Within 90 minutes, yes under TWO hours (!!), the entire venue was beautiful and ready! We had 30 minutes to spare and the photographer ([Sheri Holloway](https://www.sherihollowayphotography.com/) and her team) did a great job snapping details and photos, in between the portraits and the ceremony. 

![20A](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/6VDJ9WKlDM9l5xjuKeqFt1/ace40be29a715adf0200200c5a04e7a7/20A.jpg)

We created three different floral centerpiece designs for the tables. The first design was a tall, grand centerpiece. The second was a low, lush compote centerpiece, and the third was a collection of 3 bud vases. This brought interest and depth to the space.

[Allie Rose Events](https://www.allieroseevents.com/), the mastermind behind the day, as well as the lead planner and designer for the wedding, did an outstanding job encouraging the team and organizing the day! She is an invaluable asset to have for your wedding day! No stress, lots of adrenaline, and tons of joy (and quite a bit of hustle)! 

I love how the fresh vines we added to the beams brings to much natural warmth against the rustic wood. It makes the space come alive.

I love how their wedding cake, designed by [Charity Fent Cake Design](https://www.cfcakedesign.com/), is a replication of Caroline's bridal gown.

__From the Bride, Caroline:__ *“Charity was so wonderful to work with! She made my vision come to life and I could never have imagined they would be so beautiful. She was full of suggestions and is so knowledgeable about flowers. It is so obvious that she loves flowers and it shows in her beautiful work. Highly recommend working with HLMF.”*

Caroline & Blake's Vibrant, Elegant Wedding at Top of the Rock in Missouri


__From Haley, the Bride, before we met__... *"I’ve always loved flowers and in a perfect world I'd be a florist, so flowers are HUGE for me and meeting my vision is a big deal.  it's more about the feel; almost like an elevated family get together. I believe that the flower arrangements are one of the biggest parts of our wedding because it's pretty much the whole setting for it. I’m from KC and having to find a wedding florist from the Springfield/Branson area is nerve wracking."*

__What is your overall wedding style, feel, look, and/or atmosphere that you want to create for your celebration?:__ *My style for the wedding is bright garden party/wildflowers. Wildflower chic? I love garden party style but not as "preppy." I want it to be a little more "homie" and warm along with bright pops of color from the flowers.*

__What are your wedding colors?__  *My bridesmaids will all be wearing a different color: blue, green, yellow, and orangish red.*

__From Charity__: We jumped on a call and they both said they felt so good after talking with me; very much put at ease. Matthew said “It was so nice to meet you!” Haley said “I’m already put at ease, and I’m so excited we get to have an in depth meeting just for flowers.”

Through our design process, I curated a floral mix that was everything true to Haley & Matthew. She shared her favorite flowers are billy balls and marigolds. Since their wedding was in September, I suggestions dahlias (she loved them) and cosmos, ranunculus, and delphinium. We used colors of bright red, orange, yellow, light blue, and light purple. It’s a joyous celebration and I am so honored He Loves Me Flowers had a part in Haley & Matthew’s special day!

__After the wedding, from Haley, the Bride:__ *“Charity is the kindest woman I’ve ever met in my life. She knew exactly what I wanted from the first meeting and made my vision come to life. She is very VERY detailed with our meetings to make sure every flower is discussed and nothing is missed. I wish everyone could have Charity as their florist!!”*

The ladies got ready at the [Bridal Suite, Cedar Creek Spa at Big Cedar](https://bigcedar.com/venues/spa-suite/). It's all things dreamy.

Haley loved the idea of having her bridesmaids carry floral purses, so of course, I was up for it, and designed their florals into purses instead of bouquets! Obsessed is an understatement. 

![RJ9A0273](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/7tz1B691WOBzoGO3TSDHBW/5611fe95c7568a99e34f02c14a2da87d/RJ9A0273.jpg)

Haley and Matthew chose the [White Garden Chapel at Big Cedar Lodge](https://bigcedar.com/venues/the-garden-chapel/) in Southwest Missouri for their ceremony. Being they had a more intimate wedding and small guest count, this was the perfect backdrop for their vows. Straight out of a movie if I do say so myself. :) 

![1](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/1tkfcYT9lBZrOkjULC2ufp/767455dd97f25298e856f50a941b8db0/1.png)

We went with two statement floral arrangements for the chapel and placed them on two white pillars. These arrangements offered a bright and colorful moment for the ceremony, framing the couple for their vows and photos. (Note: These arrangements also doubled as decor for the reception around their sweetheart table...you'll see it, soon, keep scrolling down.)

I loved designing florals in the couple's wedding welcome sign. The flower box sign is all things happy, inviting, and fun! It's sure to make the guests smile upon arrival.

Big Cedar Garden Chapel Wedding in Branson MO

Haley & Matthew's Colorful Garden Chapel Wedding at Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, MO

Dara and Sean’s wedding vision was so intentional from the start. They wanted their guests to fully enjoy the day and, 20 years from now, still look back on their wedding as a joyful, timeless celebration. The goal was presence, ease, and genuine fun.

Set in May at the stunning [Greenhouse Two Rivers](https://www.greenhousetworivers.com/), the day felt classy yet laid back. Soft greens, whites, mauves, and blush pinks created a romantic color palette that felt fresh, elegant, and enduring. 

![1](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/4MczwEP4xrMBEQVxBCVRQX/37dc71faca0ee4450b66cf182bc59d99/1.png)

The florals reflected the same softness and joy. We designed with peonies, sweet peas, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus, roses, stock, and hydrangeas, paired with a thoughtful mix of foliages to add warmth, movement, and natural texture. Every stem was chosen to feel romantic, airy, and timeless.

The ceremony floral ground arrangements were simple in concept yet impactful in presence as they were framing the couple, tying in their color palette, and highlighting the beginning of their most meaningful season as husband and wife. After the ceremony, the arrangements were thoughtfully relocated to the reception, where they were reused to bring added floral beauty to the sweetheart table.

![17](//images.ctfassets.net/vvlt8r5txsex/50ogDEMDKJNBkCfF1Xysad/233d814f9f8886b0b8e07edbe727c045/17.png)

Cocktail hour featured a custom mini golf setup for guests to enjoy—a playful yet meaningful nod to the couple’s story, inspired by golf, the setting of their very first date. These thoughtful details added heart and intention throughout the day, grounding the celebration in who they are as a couple.

The reception was styled with loose foliage to bring warmth to each table, paired with minimalist bud vases that added soft color, height, and visual interest. Layered candlelight by [Allie Rose Events](https://www.allieroseevents.com/) created an inviting glow, while the sweet “thank you” place setting served as an intentional and heartfelt gesture for every guest.

Dara & Sean’s joyful wedding was one that will feel just as beautiful decades from now and we were honored to design a floral experience that reflected their story.

Dara & Sean's Timeless Spring Wedding at Greenhouse Two Rivers

Catherine and Jeremy's colorful summer wedding in Downtown Springfield, Missouri is one to save to your favorite's list if you love all-things-color!

Catherine dreamed of a bright and lively summer garden party and was inspired by all things [Rifle Paper Co.](https://riflepaperco.com/) (one of my favorite brands!). Her bridesmaids wore bright, light blue dresses which contrasted so beautifully against the coral, peach, and pink tones in the bouquets.

We curated the colorful, textural flower composition to include luxury garden roses, peonies, ranunculus, hydrangeas, delphiniums, scabiosas, and many more that we sourced locally from our Springfield flower farmers.

The couple's ceremony was at the downtown[ Christ Episcopal Church](https://christepiscopalchurch.com/). The chapel is full of ornate details and gives a nod to medieval architectural influences.

The reception was at downtown Springfield's premier venue, [The Veridian](https://www.veridianevents.com/). The historic charm brings a fresh amount of character to the celebration. We adorned the guest tables with a combination of matching flowers in bud vases and intentionally designed the head table to be the main attraction featuring a lush garden party centerpiece.

The table numbers and seating chart signs were thoughtfully and intricately hand-painted by the mother of the Bride.

We added fresh foliage bundles to the drapery pillars to tie in the botanical elements around the venue. 
And don’t miss the wedding cake - it’s as floral-lush and "garden party" as ever!
